Fiat Punto - WOI Encyclopedia Italia (669 words) |
 | Internally codenamed Project 178, the Punto was announced in September 1993 and launched in early 1994 as a replacement for the ageing Fiat Uno. |
| The Punto's distinctive clean-cut styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro was an instant hit (though one of the car's most recognisable features, the vertical tail lights, were not part of Giugiaro's original design and were in fact added later in-house at Fiat). |
| Entry-level in the Punto range were the 1.1 and 1.2 litre petrol engines and the 1.7 diesel. |
| Fiat Punto II (1969 words) |
| The new Punto’s rear suspension is 6.5kg lighter. |
| Punto used to be by far the best seller in Fiat’s lineup and has been the life-saver of the company. |
| The Punto Mk 1 of 1994 was derived from the Fiat Tipo, with the same suspension configuration - MacPherson struts at front, trailing arm at the rear. |
